I visited Toad Computers on Saturday and asked about the Falcons.  The
lady working the store at the time (Jennifer?) told me thay have not
received any Falcons to resell yet let alone any demonstration models
from Atari.  She went on to say that they set up a Falcon every
Thursday (?) but that it's borrowed from some individual.
